OCTOBER 5, 2026 ♪ Bing-bong, bing-bong ♪ Good morning, fellow Cruise Sea-kers. Today, Mother Nature has been rearranging cruise itineraries, one Virgin Voyages ship had a frightening night in Greece, Carnival Radiance is back from dry dock, and several cruise lines have announcements from their official press rooms. Then, I have an important real-life lesson about cruising to Canada. Let’s get underway. We begin with Scarlet Lady, which broke free from its berth in Rhodes, Gr

♪ Bing-bong, bing-bong ♪ Good morning, fellow Cruise Sea-kers. Today, we begin with a serious maritime story. Then Carnival has put a new ship in the water, and we are taking a proper look at one of Celebrity Cruises’ most misunderstood restaurants. Let’s get underway. A Russian attack struck a Liberian-flagged cargo ship at a Ukrainian port in the Odesa region Saturday. According to Ukrainian port authorities, one person was killed and three others were injured. Thirteen cre

Good afternoon, fellow Cruise Sea-kers! It was morning when we recorded the first edition, but apparently, we overlooked the whole “put the microphone near your face” part of broadcasting. Therefore, welcome to the Mooring Afternoon Edition. Not only can we not make it morning, but we apparently cannot make it consistent. Rob is always busy, and I am forced to wait for his expertise to remove the bloopers, including cusswords, mispronunciations, drinking, barking dogs and wha

1. Bukangi outsmarts them again Today’s second rescue attempt was suspended before Bukangi reached open water. Crews used a 50-meter net, boats and water-generated foam, but rising tide and the net snagging on the canal bottom stopped the operation. The shark came within roughly 50 meters of the final pedestrian bridge before officials secured the net and called it off. Bukangi has now defeated boats, water cannons and a custom-built net. Busan’s honorary ambassador is appare

Hello, fellow cruise lovers! Welcome aboard Mooring News from Cruise Sea-kers Travel, where we bring you cruise stories, curious facts and behind-the-scenes happenings that you probably will not find in the daily planner. Rob said we needed to keep our peeps informed. I decided informed did not necessarily have to mean bored. So today, we have one cruise that packed sweaters and received sunshine, a new island being built beside an island, Halloween on the Hudson, and several

Due to the ongoing warm weather conditions and limited rainfall across Europe, water levels remain low in several sections of the Rhine & Danube rivers. As a result, navigation restrictions are currently in place that prevent vessels from safely operating through affected areas. Check with your travel advisor to see how this affects you. From a river-cruise lover’s perspective, low water has a few silver linings—but the “pros” are mostly ways cruise lines salvage the vacation

Good morning, cruisers, crew members and everyone still pretending they didn’t hear the announcement. Welcome aboard the inaugural voyage of Mooring News from Cruise Sea-kers Travel. Yes—Mooring News. Because it sounds like morning news, but with significantly more water and at least one nautical pun per episode. I’m Sheryl, your travel advisor, cruise enthusiast and occasionally nosy observer, reporting from the bridge—or the brig, depending on what kind of morning I’m havi

Don’t forget that name lol. It’s a wonderful excursion if you’re into a million mile climb uphill/ in a bathing suit/helmet and water shoes through the muggy rainforest followed by more climbing but thankfully treacherously downhill. If you're lucky it will rain to create a nice muddy path, like we had! Our first sign of civilization (excluding an area of benches that was "just about there") is a canyon with a wooden platform over a rushing river. That is where you’ll back

We are officially celebrity! spoiled! It’s so unfair to compare but compare i do. I’ll post more about what we have discovered onboard the Sun Princess as time allows. Meanwhile I’ll just post pics!

Last night I searched the stars for my Mom from our infinite veranda.
